Multiple choice

In each of these questions, two equations (a) and (b) are given. You have to solve both the equations and choose the correct option. a) (x^2 - 5x + 6 = 0) b) (2y^2 - 7y + 3 = 0)

  1. $x > y$
  2. $x \leq y$
  3. $x \geq y$
  4. $x < y$

  5. x = y or relationship between x and y can't be established

E Correct answer
Explanation

Solving x²-5x+6=0 gives x=2 or x=3. Solving 2y²-7y+3=0 gives y=1/2 or y=3. When x=2, x>y (both y=1/2 and y=3). When x=3, x>y when y=1/2, but x=y when y=3. Since the relationship varies (sometimes x>y, sometimes x=y), option E is correct.
